Steve Jobs' Liver TransplantEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Image via CrunchBaseVia Daring Fireball:Yukari Iwatani and Joann S. Lublin, reporting for The Wall Street Journal: Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave from Apple Inc. since January to treat an undisclosed medical condition, received a liver transplant in Tennessee about two months ago. The chief executive has been recovering well and is expected to return to work on schedule later this month, though he may work part-time initially. This must be a deliberate, timed leak from Apple. The timing is simply perfect from Apple’s perspective — midnight on the Friday of what appears to be the most successful new product l...

Dude Fest!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I'm attending a complete dude fest, also known as the annual American Urological Association (AUA) meeting. It's held in the illustrious city of Chicago this year, and it's been quite fun and informative so far. Though it has "american" as part of its acronym, the AUA is actually quite an international event with tons of international urologists in attendance. I'm constantly hearing Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, French, Korean, Japanese, German and many other languages in the meeting halls. It's quite impressive and makes for a nice multi-cultural event.However, I'm never more amazed at the paucity of women in urology than ...

Doctors love it (NOT) when patients come into the office carrying jars or other homemade specimen containers holding all manners of bodily fluids.I am sure that the average PCP or ENT doc has seen their share of "funny-looking" or -insert favorite color- sputum that the patient carefully brought with them to the office, after they had been saving the used Kleenex for a day or so....or perhaps the occasional stool specimen.You can see where this is going, since I am a urologist....I actually encourage patients to bring me the kidney stones they have passed. We can get those analyzed, and the information is quite useful in t...

The nurse proceeds to take vital signs and obtains a urine sample and other pertinent information before informing the doctor that the patient is ready to be seen.The doctor walks into the room and says: "Hi Mr. Shakespeare, how are you doing today?" to which the patient promptly replies: "Huh???

Despite the fact that this has been an annual event for the past several years, I'm only really aware of it when I start getting letters from my hospitals telling me how much they appreciate me.So I did a little internet research regarding this so-called holiday.

RedemptionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Despite the nature of my job, and despite what some of my readers may think, I don't actually enjoy causing pain and suffering. In fact, I'm barely able to watch a gory horror movie though I know intellectually that special effects and acting (some of it bad) are creating the images.I'm acutely aware that some surgeries/procedures hurt more than others, whether the pain be purely physical, or with a significant psychological aspect. I think orchiectomies (removal of testes) definitely fall into this category.Even though an orchiectomy is technically a very simple procedure, most patients (especially the male patients) tend...

Image via WikipediaIn a recent post, "nephrogirl" — who is either a nephrology fellow or younger nephrologist — listed the "13 things [she hates] about nephrology." I appreciate that she took the time to vent her unhappiness. And while her experiences with nephrology aren't mine — which might have to do with differences in our patient populations and many other factors — I understand her perspective. Here's the list, along with my comments.1) The incessant checking of labs, powerlessly watching the kidney function slowly deteriorate.

Happy New Year!If acoustic stethoscopes — the kind physicians have used for over two hundred years — are the equivalent of typewriters, then electronic stethoscopes are like word processors. Okay, this analogy is non-intuitive, but hear me out. Electronic stethoscopes, like word processors, are newer, more expensive than the previous generation, and are — well — electronic, with all the advantages and disadvantages this implies.The advantages to electronic stethoscopes are many.

Radiation scareEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Recently, I have begun to see more and more patients who are sent to my office from the ER with presumed renal/ureteral stones without a CT scan.They present with typical symptoms such as blood in the urine, sudden flank pain and mild nausea, and if they've had a stone in the past, some ER physicians will not order a CT scan for fear of radiation exposure, and subsequently will send these patients to see me as an outpatient. With mounting evidence on the risks of radiation, especially after multiple studies, I can understand the reluctance. However, what am I supposed to do with the patient? How can I offer them any medic...

Though one of my nice older patient does not speak a word of English, this has never been a problem since he is always accompanied by a bevy of daughters who provide excellent translational services. However, communication issues arose after his admission to the hospital, when his relatives were not always present as I made rounds. Though I speak four languages pretty fluently (including English!) and know a smattering of words in a dozen other languages, Vietnamese is not one of them... In order to ask a few basic questions, I resorted to pantomiming at his bedside.As I was trying to ascertain whether he had ambulated tha...

I am on call this year for Thanksgiving, and it's already been mildly painful and busy (an exploratory laparotomy AND a kidney transplant last night!). The even more painful part is that this call lasts from wednesday until monday morning!!! Yikes....But as I was rounding at the hospital today and encountering sick patients and their families, I became profoundly thankful that my loved ones are in good health. Perhaps I am getting more emotional in my dotage, but I was feeling almost teary as I was walking through the wards, as there are few places sadder and lonelier than a hospital during the holiday season.

Simple question for most people.... However, this seemingly innocuous question used to stress me out when I first began training as a urologist. I was raised by my very conservative parents that talking or even mentioning certain areas of your anatomy was taboo, or at the very least, not an appropriate subject to bring up. Yet, the very essence of my job entails a journey into a realm which produces squirming in a polite society.Inevitably, this question would be raised in public setting such as in a plane, at a bar or some sort of social gathering where escape was not a possibility.I thought about lying outright and feig...

I was finishing up a clinic visit with a new patient, when, as I was heading towards the door, she uttered these parting words: "Thank you for seeing me and taking my insurance."Since I don't personally check ahead of time what insurances my patients have, I was intrigued by her comment and asked her who provided her healthcare coverage. She answered Tricare, which is the healthcare insurance provided to the United States Armed Forces and their families.The reason for her gratitude was because she was finding it progressively more difficult to find physicians who would accept Tricare.
